After the advance from the USA in the direction of a possible release of the patents on corona vaccines, the federal government emphasized the need for patent protection.
"The protection of intellectual property is a source of innovation and must remain so in the future," said a government spokeswoman on Thursday in Berlin.
The US proposal for a revocation of patent protection for Covid-19 vaccines has "significant implications for vaccine production as a whole".
The US government signaled on Wednesday that it would support a suspension of patent protection for corona vaccines in order to be able to ramp up vaccine production internationally.
"The limiting factors in the manufacture of vaccines are the production capacities and the high quality standards, not the patents," said the federal government.
"We are working in many ways on how we can improve production capacities within Germany and within the European Union, but also worldwide." The companies concerned are also doing this with great commitment.
